On Friday the Grenada High Court will hear a legal challenge brought by the Opposition National Democratic Congress against the Commission of Inquiry probing allegations of bribery against Prime Minister Dr. Keith Mitchell. The court granted leave to Opposition Leader Tillman Thomas in July this year to apply for a judicial review of a decision by sole commissioner Barbadian Attorney-at-Law, Dr. Richard Cheltenham. Dr. Cheltenham has refused to grant intervenor status for Mr.Thomas to enable his full participation in the inquiry, including the opportunity to examine and cross-examine witnesses. Mr. Thomas is seeking a declaration from the High Court for an order to squash the June 14 decision by Cheltenham. He made the application on the grounds that in rendering his decision, the Commissioner misinterpreted and misapplied section 18 of the Commission of Inquiry Act. Reprinted from radiojamaica.com
